The Newsletter asks if we would spread the word. I thought some on
this list
might find it helpful. Good luck.

Free Non-Member Access to the Register Online Over Thanksgiving Weekend!
NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to its New England Historical and
Genealogical Register database on
NewEnglandAncestors.org over the
Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Normally only available to NEHGS members,
the
Register database will be accessible to all from Thursday, November 25
through Sunday, November 28, 2004. We encourage all NEHGS members to
spread
the word about this offering, and we hope that those of you who are not
members find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database!
Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and
Genealogical
Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest
journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to
1994.
The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its
inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land
and
probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical
essays.
Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the
Register
for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been
treated
in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental
ways
throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces
correcting
errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that
reveal
family origins or present multiple generations of a family.
To obtain free access to the Register, we only ask that you complete a
short
survey to help us better define future free offers. All information
given in
the survey is kept strictly confidential within NEHGS. After completing
the
survey, you will automatically be taken to the Register database.
